The Syria Files

Thursday 5 July 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing the Syria Files – more than two million emails from Syrian political figures, ministries and associated companies, dating from August 2006 to March 2012. This extraordinary data set derives from 680 Syria-related entities or domain names, including those of the Ministries of Presidential Affairs, Foreign Affairs, Finance, Information, Transport and Culture. At this time Syria is undergoing a violent internal conflict that has killed between 6,000 and 15,000 people in the last 18 months. The Syria Files shine a light on the inner workings of the Syrian government and economy, but they also reveal how the West and Western companies say one thing and do another.

To whom it may concern, My name is Ritta Karam, I am writing this on behalf of the Patriotic Syrian community in Portland, Oregon(USA). On April 30th we held a rally for Syria and Bashar Al-Assad in hopes that we may show our support and loyalty for
President Bashar Al-Assad and our brothers and sisters in Syria and clear the misconceptions that people have about our country Syria and its wonderful leader. At the rally we successfully handed out about 400 fliers explaining the truth about what is
happening in Syria. Although the Syrian community in Portland, Oregon is not very large, we still hope that this rally helped open the eyes of many. We would like everyone to know that even though we are not living in Syria, we support Bashar Al-Assad
with all our hearts! Below are links to some of the videos we recorded and attached are photos of the event. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jPJvre4YCXY http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U_gBLy7HsJY With all our love and support, The Syrian community in
